Chapter 616: Vegetative State
"Doctor, what did you say?"
The woman widened her eyes and mouth.
"Allowing your father to live independently, isn’t that right?" Lin Tian looked up at him.
"No, no... just, really?"
"Of course, do I have to lie to you?" Lin Tian nodded very confidently, "Okay, you take your father out first. There will be a lot of patients today."
"Thank you, thank you." The woman kept expressing her gratitude, her father’s illness had always been a worry in her heart, and she didn’t expect the effect of seeing the ’famous doctor’ this time would be so good.
The woman and the old man went out.
Liu Mang looked at Lin Tian with a strange expression, is this guy bragging?
That’s Parkinson’s, the cause of which lies in the brain. You feed them some medicine, give them acupuncture once, and it’s better?
Nonsense.
Lin Tian seemed to see through Liu Mang’s thoughts, and said lightly: "Everything in this world has a cause and effect, just like that old man just now. His Parkinson’s is mainly caused by the kidneys, and what shows on his face is kidney deficiency. Once you know the cause, treatment is much simpler."
Liu Mang’s expression became stranger. What kind of explanation is this?
What does Parkinson’s have to do with the kidneys? Isn’t it caused by brain nerves?
"Lin Tian, that patient just now doesn’t count in our bet, his illness isn’t completely cured." Liu Mang said.
Lin Tian nodded lightly, too lazy to bother with this guy.
Soon, the second patient also walked in. It was a female, a very healthy female.
How was this seen?
Her eyes were very clean, her face was clean, her complexion was rosy, just her spirit wasn’t so good.
This woman has a heart problem.
The woman sat opposite Lin Tian, without speaking, nor did she extend her hand for Lin Tian to take her pulse.
"You are not here to see a doctor." Lin Tian looked at her and said calmly, "You are not sick at all. If there is something to say, it is insomnia. This I can prescribe some medicine for you. It can be cured."
The woman’s pupils suddenly shrank, showing an expression of disbelief.
"How do you... know? Isn’t ancient medicine supposed to take the pulse first?" the woman asked in surprise.
"Your misunderstanding of ancient medicine is too big. I think you also heard of ’observing, listening, questioning, and taking the pulse,’ right?" As he spoke, Lin Tian took a pen and wrote on a notebook, "These several herbs, take them in combination. The initial effect might not be good. But after taking them continuously for two months, your insomnia can be cured. But the most important thing is adjusting your biological clock."
After speaking, Lin Tian tore off the prescription he had written and handed it to the woman, but found she was already in a daze.
"Take it." Lin Tian said.
The woman took the prescription woodenly, and then suddenly bowed to Lin Tian, pleading: "Doctor, I beg you, please save my husband!"
"What’s wrong with your husband? Don’t worry first, for me to treat the illness, I must see him, right?" Lin Tian said.
"Of course, wait a moment." The woman ran out and soon returned, pushing a wheelchair in.
Sitting in the wheelchair was a man dressed in a hospital gown, but his eyes were closed, as if he was asleep.
Seeing this person, Liu Chan and Liu Mang felt a huge stone in their hearts had finally fallen.
Originally, they thought this woman would be easy to treat, but unexpectedly she brought along a vegetative patient.
No mistake, her husband was a vegetative person. A vegetative person with no difference from a dead person except breathing.
This kind of disease is famously difficult to cure. In TV dramas, in front of a vegetative person, doctors only say: He can only wake up by himself.
Of course, in reality, it is the same. Modern medicine has no way to awaken a vegetative person.
Liu Qingcheng’s face didn’t look good instead, wasn’t this clearly trying to scam!
If it weren’t for Lin Tian saying earlier that there’s no need to blow things up, these patients will be lucky to meet him.
If it weren’t for Lin Tian’s medical ethics, Liu Qingcheng probably would have exposed their fraudulent acts long ago. This is an unfair bet!
"Doctor... can my husband be treated?" The woman cautiously observed Lin Tian’s expression, but she couldn’t see anything.
Lin Tian was probably the last hope for her husband, others couldn’t see her insomnia at a glance.
"How long has it been in this state?" Lin Tian asked.
"Six months, due to a car accident."
Lin Tian did not speak, but put his hand on his pulse.
Spiritual Qi invaded in, allowing Lin Tian to feel more clearly the condition inside him.
The man’s pulse was quite normal, it seems he was well cared for.
"Bring him in and put him on the acupuncture bed." Lin Tian waved his hand.
The woman watched Lin Tian with surprise, "Doctor, you mean? Can it be treated?"
"It can, luckily you came early. If you had delayed your husband’s illness for another two months, I probably wouldn’t have been able to treat it."
With the nurse’s help, the man lay on the bed, his jacket was taken off, now his upper body was bare.
Aside from Lin Tian and the patient, everyone else was outside the ward, only able to see the situation inside through the glass window.
Lin Tian didn’t have any taboos, he took out the silver needles in front of everyone, after disinfecting them, he began acupuncture.
Vegetative state, in ancient times there was this kind of disease, just there wasn’t a unified name, the naming was different in various places.
The method of treatment before was pretty much the same as now. The rich could afford it, the poor mostly couldn’t.
Spiritual Qi attached to the long silver needle, then from the Baihui acupoint of the man, it was stuck down.
Baihui also known as ’Three Yang Five Meet,’ is the most important acupoint of a person.
In no time, the man’s whole body had silver needles stuck, looking like a hedgehog, startling to the eye.
Lin Tian’s acupuncture speed was very fast, this time when he stuck the needles, he didn’t pull them out immediately. It was to let spiritual Qi circulate in the man’s body, unblocking some meridians.
This can achieve an enlightening effect, and the man’s chance of waking up will be greatly increased.
Vegetative state isn’t so easy to treat, in the ancient books stored in Lin Tian’s brain, there was only one treatment method, and it was extremely laborious.
If Lin Tian weren’t now a mid-level Martial Artist, fear he’d have run out of spiritual Qi inside and still couldn’t save this man.
Of course, even now Lin Tian was not feeling well, the Sea of Qi was empty, his face was full of sweat.
"Hehe, not going to make it, huh."
Seeing Lin Tian exhausted, Liu Mang and his father were quite pleased.
Earlier they were worried Lin Tian would really cure this vegetative person, but looking at him now, it seems it would only be a joke.
Liu Mang even thought about how to ridicule this failed ancient doctor later.
Suddenly, the man’s finger moved. This action was extremely subtle, apart from Lin Tian no one else noticed.
Immediately, Lin Tian’s face showed a rarely seen smile.
He began to speed up, started pulling out needles, the woman watched nervously from the side, but she didn’t dare speak, fearing she might disturb Lin Tian.
